A lens, invented by scientists, combines the focusing ability of a human eye with the wide-angle view of an insect eye to capture images with depth. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email.

Multiplied by 2, we find our total viewing angle. The resolution of our eyes is 12 vertical lines per arc angle (one line per arcminute for 20/20 acuity) times 2. Now 28 degrees x 12 lines x 2 = 672.

For example, the precision-lens manufacturer Zeiss states that its Planar 50-mm lens is “equal to the human eye.” Many artists have taken up 50-mm lenses to render ordinary, everyday experience.

The team's next step is to find out if the human eye can also conduct the first step of viewing ghost images, perhaps by multiplying together different inputs to the right and left eyes. Original ...

Although its 100-degree field of view isn’t as broad as the 150 degrees a human eye can take in, it’s better than the 70 degrees visible to ordinary flat imaging sensors.
